One day. 86,400 seconds.

 

We don’t know the last time we’ll see the stars

Or touch our scars

 

We don’t know the last time we’ll breathe the air

Or brush our hair

 

We don’t know our last hug

Or last kiss

Or last love

 

We don’t know.

 

We know the world around us can be so cruel

It can be so beautiful

It can be so empty

It can be so unbelievably

Incredible and challenging.

 

We know the time we’re given is far from endless

And that the future depends on us

 

That the best moments in life are filled with love

But the most memorable is sometimes the hardest

 

That we are given a purpose and a meaning

Which can never be taken from us and is never demeaning

 

We must learn that we, not only can but must make a difference

That we must be strong and take a stance

 

We must learn to live life loving every second of every day

Loving every person in every way.

 

Every day we are given a chance.

An amazing opportunity.

A great predicament.

To make a positive difference.

 

86,400 seconds. One day.
